Chapter 875 The Horse Can't Stop
Because it rained all night last night, the convoy drove at a steady speed on this stretch of road in the morning.
Fu Zhaoning originally thought that it would take three or four days to get from the capital to Zhecheng, but after asking Fu Jinchen and Anyan, he realized that the three or four days Xiao Lanyuan mentioned was the speed at which a single person could travel on horseback.
If they were carrying so much cargo, staying overnight and stopping for meals, it would probably take them about six days. If it rains or something else happens and the speed slows down, it might take seven or eight days to arrive.
So she had already sent two guards on horseback to go ahead and explore the way. Although it was impossible to arrive in three or four days, she hoped that nothing would go wrong.
Because of his slow speed, he was caught up by others.
An Nian's carriage was in the front of the team, Fu Zhaoning's carriage was in the middle, and there was originally Fu Jinchen's carriage following behind, but because they had to seize the time to study on the road, Fu Jinchen was basically in Fu Zhaoning's carriage.
Behind them were several carts of supplies, and at the end were several guards from the palace.
Because they all practiced martial arts, they heard the noise behind them at the end of the team, and someone was catching up.
A guard rode his horse to Fu Zhaoning's carriage and asked her for instructions.
"Princess, there are about four carriages following us. Do we need to speed up to get rid of them?"
Because the post station is just ahead, I guess the people following them are most likely Zhu Qianqian and her group.
Fu Zhaoning also thought of this.
Although there is only one road in this section, people may not follow them, but -
"We set out so early, the sun hasn't even come out yet. Could they really be coming to chase us?" Fu Zhaoning looked at his father.
Because when they left, Zhu Qianqian and her group had not yet gotten up, so only her maid Cai'er saw them, and she looked frightened.
Fu Jinchen stroked his forehead.
"This section of the road is still a bit muddy, so don't worry about it." Fu Zhaoning had already replied to the guard.
She couldn't possibly speed up just because of such a brave girl. It would be troublesome if the truck overturned.
Let’s get through this section first.
"yes."
After a while, Zhu Qianqian and her group caught up.
The speed was very fast. There were two servants on horseback leading the way, and four carriages behind them. The carriages were now rattling loudly, and the noise was enough to make people nervous.
"What's wrong with them? Why are they in such a hurry on this road?"
Everyone in the Fang family's caravan looked back at the other side's posture and was shocked.
The guard turned his horse around, gestured to them, and shouted, "Stop!"
The other side's horses raised their hooves and charged forward, and the carriage was shaking as if it was about to fall apart. Because of the mud on the road, mud and water splashed everywhere.
"Danger, stop!"
Behind them, the Zhu family's servants turned pale and frantically tried to control the horses while shouting in trembling voices.
"Girl! What should I do if the horse is out of control!"
In the first carriage, Zhu Qianqian was also tossed around and was about to fall and hit her head. She held her head tightly with both hands and shouted, "Ask them for help!"
"Who can I ask for help? I can't stop the horse!"
"Me too!"
The horse neighed but continued to rush forward.
Here, the guards of the palace had already noticed something was wrong and their expressions changed.
"No, their horses are out of control!"
"Everyone get out of the way!"
"Quick, quick, get out of the way!"
Fu Zhaoning also heard the noise outside. Their convoy had stopped. The guards rode over and said urgently, "Princess, their horses are out of control. It looks wrong."
Fu Zhaoning frowned, jumped off the horse, took a few steps and looked back, and sure enough, he saw a line of vehicles and horses rushing towards them, splashing with mud.
"Are you sure you can help?" she asked.
"You can give it a try."
"Wait a moment." Fu Zhaoning immediately went back to the carriage and took out a handful of needles. "Anesthetic needles, stick them in the horse. Be careful."
They have internal strength, and they are more powerful than her when using this.
The guards immediately took the needle and turned their horses around to meet Zhu Qianqian and the others.
The other side's servants panicked when they saw this, "Get out of the way! We can't stop!"
If the two sides were to collide on horseback, there would be casualties.
If he fell off the horse due to this collision, he would definitely be trampled to death.
"Hold on tight!" The guard raised his hands and needles rained down like rain, piercing the horse.
The two guards behind him continued to rush forward without stopping. He controlled his horse to the side to avoid the attack, reached out and grabbed the opponent, directly lifted him onto his own horse's back, kicked the horse's head away, and led the horse to the side of the road.
The horse pulling the carriage at the back was also given a few injections. After a while, the horse slowed down significantly. Two guards came over. One of them flew onto the carriage and took the place of the coachman to hold the reins, while the other rode on the horse's back and held the horse's head.
Soon, the horse was under control.
The two horses in front also knelt down with their front hooves and fell to the ground.
Several guards breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately they had the princess's anesthetic needle!
It was the first time they had seen something that took effect so quickly, and they were shocked. The product made by the princess was indeed extraordinary.
The speed of the three carriages at the back was relatively normal, and the horses looked fine. Once they controlled the one in front, the drivers at the back were able to stop the carriages as well.
When all the carriages stopped, An Nian and the others in front also came over.
"What's wrong with you? Don't you know this is very dangerous?" Eleven walked over quickly and shouted at them.
It's true. If we lose control and crash into their convoy, not only will their cars be overturned, but there may also be injuries and deaths.
Zhu Qianqian was still in shock. She sat in the carriage with her mouth open, but for a moment she didn't have the strength to get out.
Her maid Cai'er also looked pale.
The old woman had just stumbled and hit her head, and now she was still dizzy, holding her head.
The coachman was also a servant. The other two servants who were taken away by the palace guards finally regained their spirits. They were really scared just now.
"I'm sorry, we didn't mean it!"
“Our horses are going crazy.”
They had sad faces. They couldn't control the speed of the horses and they didn't have the ability to jump off the horses and escape.
They originally thought they were going to be either dead or injured, but luckily the people in front were very strong and saved them all.
It's their horses.
I don't know if it can get better.
Fu Zhaoning had already walked over. She didn't say anything and went to check the horses.
Fu Jinchen walked up to her and asked, "Can you still look at the horse?"
"Probably. Check for injuries first."
"Let me help take a look." Fu Jinchen quickly took on the role of her assistant.
An Nian looked at the father and daughter, then walked towards Zhu Qianqian's carriage.
